23.01.2022 We want to share the most relevant information we can about the Australian recycling industry. Please help us to do that by completing our poll: What do you think happens to the recycling waste you put in your yellow top bin?

18.01.2022 To coincide with the end of recycling week we are pleased to announce that we now have 100% of the backing required to establish a plastics recycling facility here in Cairns. We have a few hurdles left but we are now more than confident we can hit our original launch targets of having a fully operational PET line before the middle of next year. No more will any of us have to keep repeating 'there's no plastic recycling facility north of Brisbane!' It's been quite a trip to... get here and huge thanks go to all that have helped along the way, especially the enthusiasm and support of our local representatives Michael Healy MP and Warren Entsch MP Not only will this project bring a new industry and jobs to the region it will form the blueprint of roll out of regional facilities across the country and it will enable the subsidy of waste collections from rural and remote communities and change the literal tide of plastic waste up and down our beautiful coastline.

17.01.2022 Fantastic! These are great initiatives and really help push the agenda of how to manage plastic into the future. Well done to everyone involved. Proving once again that we can drive a national agenda with local action. We are also looking very much into how we can work with recycling in the local FNQ space to create a circular economy with bottle to bottle using HDPE plastic. Stay tuned for news as it happens!

11.01.2022 This project is great to keep plastic out of landfill and to raise awareness. Although as yet none of the funds involved have gone into recycling projects this sort of scheme will definitely provide a well sorted quality waste source once Queensland develops a recycling capacity - which is of course where we come in!

04.01.2022 Great team meet today with Trevor Evans MP Federal Minister for Waste Reduction & Environmental Management and our very own Warren Entsch MP. We are definitely on the way to a plastic recycling facility in Cairns for 2020, designed to be the blueprint for a roll out across the country. Exciting stuff for the Far North as we get firmly ahead of the curve!
